On Tuesday, November 25, at 8:30 am at Court and Montague Street in downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz will be joined by Brooklyn elected officials and Gene Russianoff of NYPIRG’s Straphangers Campaign to blast the latest round of proposed fare hikes, as well as service cutbacks by the MTA that impact Brooklyn neighborhoods.

Eliminating the M and Z trains, cutting service on the G line, increasing wait times on the B, slashing weekend service on the 27 and 28 express bus lines while hiking express bus fares, reducing service on the B7, B48, B57, B65 and other bus routes, and increasing fares for Access-A-Ride would have a disastrous effect on elderly or disabled passengers and other hard-working Brooklynites.
